Is anyone here familiar with the David Starr Production Box? I understand that it is used to produce a number of silks.l

It looks like Hank Lee has this. But I still don't know anything about it. Anyone familiar with this?

I have been eyeing this one but I also know nothing about it? For the price it would be nice to knnw a little?

Check your Rice Silk Encyclopedias for variations of this.

From a quick look it appears to be a variation on a trick sold by Tannen's in the early 70's called "Pyramid of Plenty" created by either Joe Fenichel or Tom Waterman...(I can't remember).

IMHO it is the kind of apparatus that "looks like magic apparatus" and therefore not particularly convincing in this day and age.

It does look like a "period piece". Perhaps changing the paint scheme would help.

I will say it is still a great trick.
